Champion? Ravenswood? ID


Recommended Posts

1931 Sistersville Alley.  I can date the bag by the small hole size. Three partners together at Sistersville WV for one year. Alley made the marbles. Berry Pink had the patent on the bag. Rosenthal was the jobber who filled the bags. All in the same location at Sistersville WV in 1931. The yellow base with red/orange is probably the most produced marbles at Sistersville. If you have a yellow base red/orange swirl or flame. You have about 85% chance that it is Alley. About 10% chance of CAC. About 5% chance of some other maker. But no Ravenswoods or not many Champions near this.

They are very common at every show, especially the swirls. The flames get a little more attention and money.  They can go from a weak swirl to a busy swirl and nice flames.

Thanks for the wonderful information. I have these transparent swirls. I’m curious if the transparent yellow or yellow and Orange base glass is a good indicator for identification like opaque yellow or yellow and orange base glass is?
